“I know who he is. He’s Willie from the Lyons family.”
“The Lyons family? The most brilliant family in Melbourne?”
“Yeah. It’s that Lyons family!”
“My God. Hudson actually knows the Lyonss!”
“…”
Amid the public’s discussion, the passenger door was opened. Dressed in a red gown, Rosabella walked out of the car alluringly while hooking her arm through Willie’s.
A buzz was heard from the crowd again.
“Who’s she?”
“Rosabella, the daughter of Jeffery who’s the director of Hudson.”
“Damn. She’s actually in a relationship with Willie. She’s trying to turn from a peasant into a princess, huh?”
“Now that she’s related to the Lyons family, the Harrison family will need to treat her courteously.”
Those words made Rosabella increasingly complacent. It was worth ingratiating herself with Willie like a slave the past few days.
When she averted her eyes, she happened to catch sight of Cate who was in front of her.
Curling her red lips, Rosabella immediately held Willie and walked toward Cate. “Hi, Cate. Willie, this is my sister, who’s also a director in Hudson.”
Having noticed Cate earlier, Willie stared at her passionately. He never knew that a woman with such dazzling good looks existed in Melbourne. Her beauty was considered one of a kind even if she were in Canberra.
“Hi, Miss Cox.”
Willie stretched out his hand light-heartedly. Cate was also astonished that Rosabella had managed to take advantage of someone from the Lyons family.
Cate had no choice but to extend her hand reluctantly, knowing that she could not afford to provoke him.
Who knew after Willie held her hand, he flirtatiously drew circles on her palm using his little finger.
A slight change was visible in Cate’s expression. She attempted to shrink away from his touch, yet he deliberately tightened his grip on her hand.
“Miss Cox, how long are you planning to hold my hand?” Willie smiled discreetly.
Rosabella immediately pursed her lips and exclaimed, “What are you doing, Cate?”
The reporters who stood at the edge of the red carpet took photos of the three of them right away. With the two sisters from the Cox family fighting over a member of the Lyons family, it was going to make a piece of fabulous news.
“I’d like to know what I did as well.” With a calm demeanor, Cate was neither overbearing nor self-effacing. “Are you guys under the impression that I, as the person in charge of Hudson, would seduce my cousin’s boyfriend so shamelessly? Oh no, he’s not even your boyfriend. As far as I recall, Stephen is your boyfriend, isn’t he?”
The reporters began to exclaim.
“Really? Stephen is actually Rosabella’s boyfriend? But why did she show up with Willie today?”
“Now that she met Willie, could it be that she’s trying to dump Stephen?”
“That’s possible. She was Nathan’s fiancée previously, but once Nathan was met with hard times, she immediately accused him of cheating.”
“How disgusting! Willie actually has an interest in this kind of woman?”
Rosabella’s face went as white as a sheet of paper at that moment. Willie did not realize that she was associated with so much negative news. He ended up getting himself into trouble.
Undisturbed, Cate forcefully broke free from Willie’s grasp and swung her arm in pain. “You held my hand so tightly that it hurts, Young Master Lyons.”
Her hand, which was originally fair, had become red at that point.
As the reporters moved closer, they could see her red skin clearly. Willie’s eyes flashed with disdain right away. They did not expect a person from the Lyons family to be so shameless.
Willie had always been flattered by others. It was his first time being humiliated by a woman in public. His eyes conveyed a hint of hostility, but he smiled weakly.
“Sorry for being abrupt.”
He walked toward Cate with his long legs and whispered to her, “I’ll remember you, Cate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he went straight into the hotel.
With that, Rosabella quickly went after him.
As Cate watched Willie’s back, she felt as if she had been targeted by a venomous snake. She had a sinking feeling.
When Willie took the elevator up, his face was set in a grim expression.
Struck by an idea, Rosabella said with a sigh, “Young Master Lyons, I hope you don’t mind. My sister is taking advantage of the fact that she’s the chairwoman to act unscrupulously.”
“Who is she to do that? She’s merely a chairwoman of a real estate company.” Willie was smoldering with fury.
“Of course, she’s nothing compared to you. It’s probably because my sister has a boyfriend, and she’s intensely loyal to him.” After spending a few days with Willie, Rosabella was aware of his peculiar hobby.
Sure enough, Willie’s eyes expressed his interest the minute he heard that.
He had a strong liking to women who had been taken as snatching them gave him a thrill. What was more, considering Cate’s fiery manner just now, she resembled a thorny rose and looked much prettier than Rosabella.
Upon noticing the sense of fascination in his eyes, Rosabella smiled and said, “I can get her to sleep with you as long as you want to.”
Haha! Having been living like a dog recently, Rosabella wanted Cate to experience it as well.
“You’re such an evil woman.” Willie shot her an icy glare.
“Your joy is all that matters. Don’t you want to teach her a lesson?” Rosabella asked charmingly.
Willie raised his brows. He lit a cigarette and then said wickedly, “Those who betrayed me have all ended in an awful state.”
8:00 p.m.
The grand anniversary celebration officially began.
Cate was supposed to be the focus of the event. However, all the guests surrounded Willie, Jeffery, and Rosabella instead.
In the magnates’ eyes, the Lyons family was regarded as legendary.
Although Willie was not a direct descendant of the Lyons family, his presence in Melbourne was powerful enough to get trouble brewing.
Chris walked toward Cate. “How did Jeffery manage to worm a connection with Willie?”
“I presume that Rosabella slept with him.” Cate made a reasonable guess. She could already see Willie’s nasty character through the brief encounter she had with him at the entrance just now.
A look of contempt washed over Chris’ face. “Your grandparents have a reputation of nobility and integrity, yet a shameless descendant like her is a disgrace.”
Cate’s head hurt. Originally, she was more than likely to succeed, but Willie’s appearance had captured the attention of the company’s directors and top management.
At this moment, Director Irvine and Director Levy approached her. “Cate, you were supposed to be the first to give a speech on stage tonight. But after discussing with the other directors, we decided to let Young Master Lyons do it first, followed by Jeffery—”
“Are you guys senile?” Chris flew into a temper. “Willie doesn’t even work for our company. You need to know that tonight is Hudson’s anniversary celebration. Also, why is Jeffery going on stage before the chairwoman? This is unreasonable.”
Director Irvine replied embarrassedly, “Just look who Young Master Lyons is. The fact that he showed up at Hudson’s anniversary celebration indicates that he thinks highly of us. What’s more, he’s willing to go on stage to give a speech, which is our great honor. Our company’s stock price is going to increase tomorrow. As for Jeffery, it was Young Master Lyons who requested him to speak. He has a close relationship with him. You can’t blame me for this.”
Cate’s face turned slightly somber. “What if I disagree?”
“No way,” Director Levy answered in a forthright manner, “All of us came to this decision for the sake of the company. You just have to agree with it.”
Cate scoffed. “If Willie decides to let Jeffery become the chairman, are you guys fine with it too? Was it actually Sheryl or the Lyonss who set up Hudson?”
“We’re doing this for the sake of the company’s prospects,” Director Levy said in annoyance, “Considering the Lyons family’s status, one who’s related to them is simply worth hundreds of billions of dollars.”
Director Irvine nodded in agreement as well.
Wait can someone remind me how old Willie Lyons is? I didn’t pay attention to when it said about him and now I’ve completely forgot about it
